Evidence for a SEND meeting
What to bring, and why writing it down changes the meeting.
Education A to Z
Education and Curriculum Terms: A Guide for Students and Teachers
Please note: This page explains a word or a process in education. It is general information about the system, the law and the guidance in England — not advice about your child, your school or your exam. If a decision is going against you, get advice from one of the free services we link to before you agree to anything or miss a deadline. If you are revising, check your own exam board's specification: boards word things differently and yours is the one that marks you.
Revising? We write GCSE revision songs — a playlist covering most subjects and the English set texts. Listen to the revision playlist.
500 terms, showing 151–160 (page 16 of 50).
E
Exam access for medical needs
Sitting exams when you are ill, in hospital, or unable to get to school.
Exam stress
Also called Test anxiety, Exam nerves
Anxiety around exams. Common, normal in small amounts, and worth taking seriously past that.
Examiners' report
Also called Principal examiner's report, Chief examiner report
What the examiners said about last year's candidates. Free, specific, and almost nobody reads it.
Exclusion from an activity
Being sent off site for behaviour support, and the rules that apply.
Expanding brackets
Multiplying out, including double and triple brackets.
EYFS
Also called Early Years Foundation Stage, Early years
The statutory framework for children from birth to the end of Reception, covering learning, development and welfare.
F
Factorising
Putting an expression back into brackets. The reverse of expanding.
Fair Access Protocol
The local arrangement for placing vulnerable children who have no school place. Every council must have one.
Feedback and DIRT
What the teacher wrote on your work, and doing something about it.
Ready when you are
Have a look round the demo, start a free trial with your own service in it, or ask us the awkward question first. Whichever you pick, the people who answer are the people who built it.
Start a free 14-day trial
Your own organisation, every area switched on, no card and nothing to install. Add your team, your people and your records. If it is not for you, it just stops.
Open the live demo
The real suite with a fictional service already inside it. A throwaway login, no form, and everything you touch is wiped when you leave.
Ask us something
Tell us who you support and what is going wrong at the moment. We will say honestly whether we solve it, and if we do not, who does.
